1000 Places to See Before You Die | contest

1000 Places to See Before You Die, first published in 2003, is now out in a full-color second edition with the following additions:

• new countries are covered
  
• experiences are revised with cohesive day-trips in mind
  
• photographs are full-color
• interactive iPad app

I had two responses while making my first perusal of this book.

(1) It reminded me of lots of the wonderful places I have gone. It was fun reading the book, as it allowed me to relive some of my favorite trips.

(2) It got me excited about going to some places I have never been. 1000 Places to See Before You Die is the ultimate resource for building your personal bucket list. Here's the link to an excerpt.

I think the iPad app is a really useful feature. With twelve hundred pages of useful content, the book is too thick to carry around with you when you travel. That's the beauty of eBooks.

Here's your chance to win a free copy in the 1000 Places to See Before You Die contest. The publisher will provide three free copies for readers of Travel Horizons. To have a chance to win, send me an email describing the following:

(1) What is next big trip you want to take?
(2) What draws you to this destination?

Please include your mailing address, as the publisher will mail the prize directly to the three winners.

Rules: I am the sole judge and will pick and publish the three winning entries (keeping the author anonymous, unless you want a byline). My criteria are highly subjective! I'm looking for travel ideas that intrigue me and great writing. Extra points for both good grammar and spelling.
